Olivier Savary Bourgogne Rouge Epineuils 2016

In this cuvée, the only thing that’s “less” is the price. Everything else is “more”— the perfumes, the expression of terroir, and the specificity of the wine. 

Bourgogne Epineuil comes from northern Burgundy, the Chablis region, not far from the Loire. So alongside its classic Burgundy Pinot Noir characteristics, the wine brings a certain northwestern character to the table: peppery aromas of peonies and roses, a certain herbal taste that makes this a racy red Burgundy that definitely does not forget where it’s from.
